My kids got lucky this year-- I snagged a last-minute gummy candy advent calendar for half off at Target last weekend. A true win. Because the completion rate for gummy candy in this house is 100%. I would bet my firstborn on it.


(Also: I’ll have to stash each day’s gummy in a secret cabinet because my two-year-old has developed ninja-level stealth. Pray for me.)


Then the genius woman that I am thought,


And just like that… a plan was hatched.


What challenges, you ask? Oh, only two full lesson plans I created for December just for you (kissy face).


And no worries--

If you don’t celebrate Christmas, zero stress.

Make it 12 Days of Whatever-You-Want. Joy, growth, gummies, survival — pick your theme. This is a universal December energy activity.


But because I am a sinking ship with places to be, I am late to the party with sharing My Bads.


I have to leave for my son’s basketball game, so I truly do not have the time or emotional bandwidth to explain anything else.


Everything you need is written down for you inside the challenge. Just read it. Pretend I’m there explaining it with hand motions.


Where do you find the challenges?

If you receive my emails, congratulations—you are glowing. Check your most recent email; both challenges are sitting in there waiting for you.


If you have not joined The Glow yet, friend… fix that. Join now and they will arrive in your inbox at the speed of a toddler discovering an unguarded gummy advent calendar.

Just head over to my socials and hit the link in my bio: @thelightbulbjournals on Instagram and TikTok.


And if you want reminders? Follow me. Because when you’re trying to launch an empire, you have to stick with the things you create—which means I’ll be posting every day to remind you.


I have no more words. I have no more time. You know where to find me.

Stay bright. ✨
